I have decided to go for my exterior design as I liked it more than my interior. I first begin by blocking out my design, which can be seen progressively below. fig 1.1, Building Structure Blockout (16/7/2025) fig 1.2, Blockout Progress 1 (26/7/2025) Making this window grill was tricky as you needed to adjust part of the vertex to make it make sense.

The importance of project 1 is to capture the atmosphere and feeling of being in that location.  My selected game is Split Fiction, a coop game on 2 protagonist with 2 different worlds ; Fantasy and Sci-Fi.

Firstly, I gathered up as much reference I can get o...

Shortcuts such as using a base image as a start, photobashing and also altering already made designs with our own twist. fig 1.1, Lecture & Demo (30/4/2025) Week 3 On week 3, Mr. Kannan touched on knowing your art direction and well as your concept before only executing the design. He also explained about the importance of using line weight and valu...
